Buenos Dias Cuzco

That´s about the extent of my spanish right there, but as all good Brits abroad know you can always get by with a few hand gestures and lots of shouting.

Arrived in Cuzco, capital of the Incas and home to the newly opened Loki Backpacker´s hostel from where I´m writing this - free internet access and White Stripes in the background, can´t argue with that. I can also upload some photos now, so here goes.

First things first, me with too much hair....

Not sure where all that came from, but here´s the "improvement", we´ll call this work in progress....















That´s all for now. Oh go on then, one more for the childish ones amongst us.

I´ll let you make your own jokes up for this.

Enough, I´ll let Jen get a word in....

....enough of that ´fannying about´ for one day. Cuzco looks like it could wash away in a light shower and hostel smells slightly of manure (which strangely reminds me of the Library in Tilehurst) but we have indeed seen a llama already, 2 in fact - one in the street and another (hope it wasn´t the same one actually) on cols plate at dinner, apparently tastes like a cross between pig and lamb. So things are looking good for the intrepid explorers.

For those of you interested in the fate of my trousers - i didn´t have the heart to throw them away after all. those skinflint backpacker tendencies are kicking in already.
